I think i may have brain damage i feel very different from

Customer Question

I think i may have brain damage i feel very different from before everything has changed. Everyone can notice the change. But my ct scan shows clear. But i feel a different person i was drinking alchol at the time i remember hitting my head but dont know where i was went to bed woke up a diffeent person but doctor thinks its all in my head. Please help.

Yes i feel i have a very bad head ache all time poor concentration feel very larthargic tired feel likd my personality has changed i just feel irritble all time ive totally changed less interested in everything. Not sleeping or eating well. Is it possible i may have damaged my brain stem. Dont drink daily, not working at moment i was.

Is it possible i could have substai ed any brain damage as my balance is pretty poor. Also eould the hospital compare my ct from when i was 14 would damage or bleeding show up on ct or any swelling on the brain ad it feels like its swelling. Will i ho back to normal its been 4 weeks im even not talking much like a mental blockage or might the frontal lobe be damaged. Im mot sleeping very well at all. Im hopeing i dont have brain damage.

Hello,Thanks for the follow-up.Well as you describe CT scan can detect any brain abnormality,bleeding,swelling in head.And it can also detect damage after few weeks from head injury.So having said this,as your CT scan is normal so chances of any gross brain damage are less.However a neuropsychological examination by a neurologist should be considered to rule out functional disorder,cognitive abnormality.Also if you have poor balance,dizziness,ear examination should be done to rule out inner ear inflammation or other ear pathology.I suggest you to consult a neurologist for further evaluation and management.

I hope I've provided the information you were seeking. If you are happy with my service, please provide a positive rating. If not, please let me know so l can continue to help you. Thank you.

Eould i need to see one through my doctor or could i see one private. It has reLly affected me i seem to have changed alot. My doctor thinks im depressed because a head injury has simler symptoms my voice as also gotten very hoarsey. but before the fall i was fine loke i said. I know its very hard to get an mri but something is makeing me feel different weather its the brain or brain stem. Im really lost what it could be but woke up a different guy. If anything did get damaged would the brain carry on getting damaged or will it stay in same place. My son as aldo seen a big change in me and hes only 9. Also can the brain heal or compensate even though i didnt get any treatment. Thanks

Just wondering if they have mised something on ct scan can the brain heal or compensate could things get better as i do feel damage somewhere im just not same person if so is it possible to adapt to who i am now.

Hello,Well usually CT scan can detect any brain abnormality.And as your describe,your symptoms should be resolved in next few weeks.And chances of brain damage are less.Sometimes,pyschological factors like stress,anxiety can aggravate symptoms.So i suggest you to consult your nearby neurologist in next few days to get proper evaluation and management.You'll be fine dear.

Thankyou even though its vrry hard to get an mri scan doctor says its too costly and im not showing anything to suggest i need one but ive been wanting one for a while now. Does s big bang on the head take time to settle down does the brain get shaken about. Thanks
